視聽翻譯與媒體近用：電影《她們》隱藏式字幕的多模態研究

Abstract

隨著線上串流平臺興起，隱藏式字幕（Closed Captions）成為協助聽覺障礙者的重要視聽翻譯形式，能夠傳達音效、音樂、音質、音量與語調等完整的聽覺元素。本研究回顧了視聽翻譯的發展、面向多元觀眾的媒體近用概念以及多模態與翻譯之間的連結。本研究採用多模態的理論框架，分析2019年電影《她們》（Little Women）的隱藏式字幕，旨在探究視聽作品中複雜的多模態意義建構、分析其中運用的符際翻譯策略，並探討能促進媒體近用的字幕翻譯實務。研究結果揭示了語言、影像、音效與音樂等模態之間的交互作用，以及字幕譯者透過點出說話者身份、調整字幕位置、活用符號和排版格式等策略，為聽覺障礙者提供與劇情相關的聲音細節。希望透過這項研究，為台灣的字幕服務提供多元的視角，確保具備不同需求的族群都能沉浸在視聽作品之中，盡情享受其樂趣。

With the rapid growth of online streaming services, closed captions serve as an essential form of audiovisual translation for the deaf and hard-of-hearing, conveying comprehensive auditory elements like sound effects, music, voice quality, volume, and tone. This research reviews the development of audiovisual translation, the crucial concept of media accessibility for diverse audiences, and the connection between multimodality and translation. Aiming to investigate the complex multimodal meaning-making in audiovisual content, analyze the intersemiotic translation strategies employed, and explore captioning practices that promote media accessibility, this study employs a multimodal framework to analyze the captioning of the film Little Women (2019). The analysis reveals the interplay of modes such as language, image, sound, and music, where captioners utilize strategies such as adding speaker identification, adjusting caption positioning, and using icons and typographical formatting to provide plot-relevant details for the deaf and hard-of-hearing. Through this study, the researcher hopes to offer diverse perspectives on subtitling practices in Taiwan, ensuring that individuals with varying needs can immerse themselves and enjoy audiovisual works.
